Justin’s Veritrope site is one that I should have been following but wasn’t, which is weird because I’ve stolen a thing or two from his scripts. Fortunately that error is easily rectified and there is now a link to his site in the sidebar.

Since I do >90% of my searches with LaunchBar, I created a custom search template. To create one, display your LaunchBar index (from the Index menu) and select Search Templates. Then tap the Add button and add a new search template for DuckDuckGo pointing at http://www.duckduckgo.com/*

Custom search templates? Thank you David for reminding me how little I actually know about LaunchBar’s functionality.

Slow week….

The James Joyce Checklist - A huge database of primary and secondary works related to James Joyce.

Code Year - A new programming lesson automatically sent to you every week. I’m in. (via Brent Simmons)

The Hitchhiker’s Guide to Python - Just a rough outline at this point, but could turn into something promising

Raspberry Pi - A $25 ARM-powered Linux box. I might buy one just for the hell of it. The price is certainly right.

Asciiflow - An online flow diagramming tool done completely in ASCII characters

Pygame Examples - Pygame is something I’ve been meaning to look into. I’m not much of a game developer, but it supposedly does a good job just teaching you about Python.

Brati’s Lover - AppleScript Collection - A nice collection of useful AppleScripts. (via Macdrifter)

Linux Distribution Chooser - I’m not sure why I put this here, but if you should be looking for Linux distribution that fits your needs, this is a pretty neat way to go about it.
